Salvador recorded several songs written with Boris Vian with Quincy Jones as arranger.
In the 60's Salvador was the television host of several popular TV variety shows on French TV.
Henri Salvador and his song "Dans mon île" (1957) is said to have unwittingly inspired bossa nova in Brazil, as Carlos Tom Jobim would have exclaimed on hearing the song "This is what you have to do! Slow down the tempo of samba, add a good melody and top it with beautiful chords!"
Caetano Veloso, a renowned brasilian composer and singer, made a direct reference at Salvador in his song "Reconvexo" : "quem não sentiu o swing de Heri Salvador ?" (who hasn't felt the swing of Henri Salvador ?)
In (1964) Henri Salvador scored a popular French hit with "Zorro est arrivé" (which was inspired by the English song "Along Came Jones"). His song "Mais non, mais non" (1969) inspired Jim Henson' song Mahna Mahna. These kind of comedy songs made him well known in France. He is also famous for his good nature and rich, catchy laugh, which is a standalone feature in many of his humoristic songs.
He has a brother, André, and a sister Alice. He became a musician and comedian. Later he uncovered new French talents Keren Ann and Art Mengo.
All I Really Want is Love
Henri Salvador Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Big old world and found that
All I really want is love
Nothing can compare
This world I've had my share of
All I really want is love
Such strife in seeking schemes
Designed for happiness
Now I finally realized
Deep underneath my lies
All I really want is love.
I've had twice my share
From fortune to despair now
All I really want is love
Nothing satisfies this
World won't compromise me
All I really want is love
The song All I really want is love by Henri Salvador - Lisa Ekdahl talks about the search for happiness in life and how it all boils down to finding love. The lyrics indicate that a person can try and chase endless dreams and schemes but in the end, what will truly satisfy them is love. The song conveys a sense of realization and acceptance that happiness is not found in material possessions but in the company of someone who loves and cares for you.
The lyrics suggest that the singer has traveled far and wide and has enjoyed both good and bad times but everything pales in comparison to the experience of love. The song talks about how the endless pursuit of happiness can sometimes make us forget what truly matters which is the love of someone close. The singer has finally realized that all the material things they have chased are nothing compared to the genuine affection of another person.

I've looked all around this Big old world and found that
After much searching, I have come to the realization that
All I really want is love
my true desire in life is to experience the feeling of love
Nothing can compare
There is nothing in this world that can surpass
This world I've had my share of
I have had my fair share of experiences in this world
All I really want is love
However, my ultimate desire remains the same - to feel love
In this life of chasing dreams
Throughout my life, I have been pursuing various aspirations
Such strife in seeking schemes
These endeavors have often caused me significant difficulty and struggle
Designed for happiness
Despite pursuing such goals in the name of happiness
Now I finally realized
I have recently come to the understanding
Deep underneath my lies
That beneath the facade of my outward behavior
All I really want is love.
My core desire has always been and continues to be love
I've had twice my share
I have experienced an excessive amount of both good fortune and hardship
From fortune to despair now
I have gone from periods of great luck to moments of deep despair
All I really want is love
Despite these ups and downs, my heart's ultimate desire remains the same
Nothing satisfies this
No other experience can provide the same level of fulfillment
World won't compromise me
Although the world may try to make me compromise in other areas
All I really want is love
My true desire continues to be love

" Lo que realmente quiero "
He mirado alrededor de este
Mundo grande y encontré que
Todo lo que realmente quiero es amor.
Nada puede comparar
Este mundo ha tenido parte de mi
Y todo lo que quiero es amor.
En esta vida de perseguir sueños
Teniendo conflictos en la búsqueda de esquemas
Diseñado para la felicidad.
Ahora finalmente me he dado cuenta
Profundamente debajo de mis mentiras
que todo lo que realmente quiero es amor.
He tenido dos veces mi parte
De la fortuna a la desesperación ahora
Todo lo que realmente quiero es amor.
Nada satisface este mundo
No me comprometerá
Todo lo que realmente quiero es amor.
En esta vida de perseguir sueños
Teniendo conflictos en la búsqueda de esquemas
Diseñado para la felicidad.
L'amour, la lumière de nos jours
Que voce de vuelta
Déjame ver todo en rosa
En esta vida de perseguir sueños
Tales conflictos en la búsqueda de esquemas
Diseñado para la felicidad
L'amour, la lumière de nos jours
Que voce de vuelta
Déjame ver todo en rosa.
